Borchen

Borchen – diverse and close to nature

The municipality of Borchen comprises five charming districts: Nordborchen, Kirchborchen, Dörenhagen, Alfen and Etteln. Situated in close proximity to the vibrant city of Paderborn, Borchen combines peaceful country life with excellent links to a cultural and economic hub.

Active holidaymakers benefit from a dense network of cycle paths, including the Almeradweg, the Altenauradweg and the Paderborner Landroute. Likewise, varied hiking trails through valleys and beech forests invite you to relax – particularly the Alte Pilgerweg and an archaeological-historical hiking trail that offers fascinating insights from the Neolithic Age to the Middle Ages.

Borchen also has plenty to offer culturally: historic churches from the High Middle Ages and the Mallinckrodthof in Nordborchen, an impressive 17th-century building with a cultural programme and dining options, are well worth a visit.

Whether cycling, hiking or simply relaxing – a wide range of leisure activities, cosy restaurants and attractive destinations make Borchen a popular holiday destination for the whole family.
